aiscot 3.0.1

AIS Cursor-on-Target Gateway.

IF YOU HAVE AN URGENT OPERATIONAL NEED: Email [e-mail] or call/sms [phone]

aiscot receives AIS Sentences from an AIS Receiver, such as ais-decoder, converts them to Cursor-on-Target Events, and transmits the CoT Events to a destination.

For use with CoT systems such as ATAK, WinTAK, etc. See https://www.civtak.org/ for more information on the TAK program.

Utilized for an open ocean boat race in the Northern Pacific Ocean, as described in this article: http://ampledata.org/boat_race_support.html

Support AISCoT Development

AISCoT Software development is powered by coffee! Since we probably won’t be able to meet in person any time soon, you can buy me a virtual coffee here:

Installation

The command-line daemon aiscot can be install from this source tree (A), or from the Python Package Index (PyPI) (B).

1. To install from this source tree:

   $ git checkout https://github.com/ampledata/aiscot.git
   $ cd aiscot/
   $ python setup.py install

2. To install from PyPI:

   $ pip install aiscot

Usage

The aiscot daemon has several runtime arguments:

$ aiscot --help
usage: aiscot [-h] [-P AIS_PORT] -C COT_HOST

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -P AIS_PORT, --ais_port AIS_PORT
                        AIS UDP Port
  -C COT_HOST, --cot_host COT_HOST
                        Cursor-on-Target Host or Host:Port

For minimum operation, -P AIS_PORT & -C COT_HOST are required.

The following example listens for AIS Sentences on UDP 0.0.0.0:5050, and forwards CoT messages to UDP 172.17.2.222:4242:

$ aiscot -P 5050 -C 172.17.2.222:4242
